The codex contains a complete text of the four Gospels on 229 parchment leaves (size 14.2 cm by 11.9 cm).[2] The text is written in one column per page, in 27 lines per page (10 by 8 cm), in dark-brown ink, capital letters in gold.[3]

There is also a division according to the Ammonian Sections (in Mark 234 Sections, the last 16:9), with references to the Eusebian Canons (written below Ammonian Section numbers, with a harmony).[3]

It contains the Eusebian tables, tables of the κεφαλαια (tables of contents) before each Gospel, with iambic verses, subscriptions at the end of each Gospel, with numbers of Verses, numbers of scholia,[4] numbers of στιχοι, and pictures.[3]
